Reminder! Call For Workshop, Special Session, Field Trip Proposals Deadline for Submission: December 2, 2010
96th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America Austin, Texas August 7-12, 2011 http://www.esa.org/austin We invite proposals for workshops, special sessions, and field trips at the 96th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America. The theme for the meeting is "Earth Stewardship: Preserving and enhancing earth's life-support systems". Please visit the homepage for the 2011 ESA Annual Meeting for additional information: http://www.esa.org/austin. WORKSHOPS are sessions intended to convey specific knowledge or skills; they are not intended for the presentation of research papers. Workshops are frequently more interactive and informal than sessions within the formal scientific program, and often involve extended discussion or 'hands-on' training. For more information, please go to http://www.esa.org/austin/workshop_proposals.php. SPECIAL SESSIONS complement the formal scientific program, providing an opportunity for presentations or extended dialogue and exchanges beyond what is usually possible in the regular scientific sessions. These sessions are not intended for the presentation of formal research papers and do not conform to any single structure. For more information, please go to http://www.esa.org/austin/specialsession_proposals.php. FIELD TRIPS offer attendees an opportunity to visit ecologically significant locations such as conservation areas, restoration projects, research sites, local communities, and cultural landmarks. Full day and overnight trips are held on Saturday and/or Sunday, prior to the beginning of the formal scientific program. Shorter trips can be held during the week. Field trips may be linked with scientific sessions or workshops. For more information, please go to http://www.esa.org/austin/fieldtrip_proposals.php If you have any questions about workshops or special sessions, please contact the Program Chair, Tom Jurik, at ju...@iastate.edu, or the Program Coordinator, Jennifer Riem, at jenni...@esa.org. If you have any questions about field trips, please contact Norma Fowler, at nfow...@uts.cc.utexas.edu.
